This is going to break or at least reduce the performance of a lot of
users - it is very common for regulators to have configurable support
for a GPIO enable in addition to a register enable with the GPIO enable
replacing a register enable for improved performance.  If you have some
strange device that requires GPIO and other operations the driver should
handle that, if nothing else it's likely that there are sequencing
requirements between the two which we are probably not going to get
right for everyone in the core.
